HCG Day 2

195 lbs.  I feel very good this morning, although I should note that I slept for a full 8 hours.  I am definitely losing weight.  Even 5 lbs of water feels good to get off. My biggest concern is my metabolism slowing down, but that's what the HCG drops are supposed to prevent from happening. 

At 9:30 a.m. I was starving again and my stomach was making very loud noises.  I didn't get as nauseous from the supplements, but still a little.  Lunch time actually came and went without me noticing.  I guess I wasn't dreaming about my shrimp, cucumbers and tomatoes with lemon juice.  It did taste good, but everything does when you're starving. 

Dinner was the same as last night, tilapia and cauliflower.  I was still "hungry" when I was done, or at least I still wanted to be shoving food in my mouth, so I threw some raw spinach in the pan with the juices.  Then I remembered that I am not allowed to mix veggies (tomato is a fruit), so I mixed it with my left over chicken with some cut up apple and put it in the fridge for lunch tomorrow.  I then ate a nectarine and the rest of my grapefruit left over from breakfast. 

It's 9:05 pm now.  My stomach is growling.  I have work to do, so hopefully that keeps my mind off of snacking.  I am craving junk food right now like some kind of addict. I do recall reading a testimonial about a woman who claims to be addicted to food and how it is so much harder than other addictions because she cannot just stop eating.  I believe that statement is incorrect.  We need food to live, yes, but it is not an addiction like as to cigarettes.  What she means to say is that she is addicted to non-food.  Saying you are addicted to food means that an apple, or cucumber would satisfy you.  If it would, then you are just hungry.  If it won't and they only thing that will settle your craving is a large order of chili cheese fries, it is not the food that you crave, but the non-food.  The non-food is as addictive as crack.  I think I could get high from a piece of cheese right now.  No kidding.  I think I need methadone.

My name is Shayne Atwood and I am a non-food addict.  It's been 2 days since I have last eaten non-food.
